The debut feature from Bertrand Mandico tells the tale of five adolescent boys (all played by actresses) enamored by the arts, but drawn to crime and transgression. After a brutal crime committed by the group and aided by TREVOR - a deity of chaos they can't control - they're punished to board a boat with a captain hell-bent on taming their ferocious appetites.

After arriving on a lush island with dangers and pleasures abound the boys start to transform in both mind and body. Shot in gorgeous 16mm and brimming with eroticism, genderfluidity, and humor, THE WILD BOYS will take you on journey you won't soon forget.

Nominated for a Queer Lion at the Venice International Film Festival. Winner of the Best Director Award at the Vilnius International Film Festival.

"...an exciting sail on the waters of gender fluidity that energetically skewers any notion of the binary." - Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times
